/lit/ - Literature

In 1992, Chomsky was named the eigth most cited human being in history, behind men like Marx, Freud and Plato. I'm pretty sure people will be remembering him and his work long past his death.

As for Zizek? Well, his legacy is up for debate..

>>3477649
No one cares who chomsky is now. He stopped being edgy ages ago, now his ideas are just what everyone thinks. No one cares.

>>3477649
Furthermore I've never met anyone that has actually sat down and read most of Chomsky's work and come out of it still disagreeing with him. Try it some time OP.

Christopher Hitchens will be forgotten.

>>3477650
Since when is very plainly telling the truth edgy? And since when are his ideas what everyone thinks now? If that were even remotely the case, people in this country would stop consuming mass media like it's going out of style.

>Chomsky
>"Liberal democrat"

Your retardedness is showing OP. Go back to reading Hitchens you faggot.

Why does it matter what the future will think? They are important now; we enjoy the debate and Zizek and Chomsky are part of some really vibrant and important global debates we have concerning the future of american hegemony, liberal democracy, consumer capitalism etc.

>>3477660
Hitchens was a Marxist, retard.

>>3477665

No he wasn't.

>>3477669
He's a self described "conservative marxist."

Also, I chose the image at random.

>mfw I'm a socialist and have never read Chomsky and don't even know who Zizek is

>>3477669
>Hitchens, as recently as 2009, again referred to himself as "a Marxist". Hitchens continued to affirm his respect for Marxist theory, including his 2009 article for The Atlantic entitled "The Revenge of Karl Marx". There he explains how Marx's economic analysis in Das Kapital has predicted many of the failures of the U. S. economy, including the late-2000s recession. In a June 2010 interview with The New York Times, he stated that "I still think like a Marxist in many ways. I think the materialist conception of history is valid. I consider myself a very conservative Marxist". He continued to regard both Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky as great men, and the Bolsheviks' October Revolution as a necessary event in the modernization of Russia.

Trotsky and Lenin were both conservative Marxists as well. Please educate yourself before posting on /lit/ again, thanks.

>>3477673
He was a "Marxist" only to the extent that he believed that the materialist conception of history is valid. Other than that he was neoconservative through and through.

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

>>3477679
Wrong, he was a right-wing Marxist just like Trotsky.

>>3477679
>regarding soviet mass murderers as great men
>not a staunch marxist in every sense.

Chomsky, Hedges, Zizek, Albert, Zinn, Herman, Foucault, West, Ellsberg, etc

>he was a Marxist only in the extent that he believed in the validity of Marxist theory

Okay, that's what a Marxist is, m8.

>>3477681

Referring to Lenin or Trotsky simply as being just mass murderers displays an enormous ignorance of their lives and what they did and tried to do. Calling Stalin a mass murderer is cool, but those two, not so much, even if you do count Kronstadt.

>>3477679
>he was neoconservative

why? guess he isn't all that smart

>>3477688
>Leftist intellectuals

>he must be dumb

Let me guess, an aggressive foreign policy hits you right in the "feels"?

leik the right is soooo stupid cause society tells me so!!! I m tottaly not brainwashed XD

>>3477703
Go to bed, you're not impressing anyone.

>>3477701
The whole "waaaah it hurts my feelings" line of argumentation in the face of someone that does not support aggressive hegemony is just about the height of stupidity. Stop it already, you dunce.

>>3477701
fuck Kissinger even though we are fellow jews

>>3477706
"I don't like X because it hurts my feelings" is the height of anti-intellectual emotional arguments.

>>3477701
can you really expect any different from these people.

They have been conditioned from the start to view one side as "the problem" and continue to uphold the same cognitive dissonance.

>>3477698
So you're telling me that these supposed right intellectuals born before 1920 are more significant than the left intellectuals born after 1920? Huh?

I'll give the right Evola. That's about it. Unfortunately most dumbfuck right wingers in America have absolutely no idea who he even is.

what's with this ironic ultra-conservative shit? is this some sort of new hipster thing among young adult males? i've seen people here freaking out about "race mixing"

this isn't the kind of traditionalism i wanted

>>3477709
intellectualism is overrated

Neocons are stupid sociopaths and are why the US is failing.

>>3477712
It's incredible that you actually believe one side(the one you disagree with) is stupid and your team is smart.

Pretty delusional.

>>3477708
>we are fellow jews
It's funny how Jews are the ones who push for white guilt yet uphold tribal extremism.

>>3477710
If you truly think the extent of argumentation coming from leftist intellectuals against hegemony is "it hurts my feelings" then you're quite plainly fucking inept. Go read this book, you chucklefuck.

>>3477714
>sociopaths

So in other words, they do whats logical and disregard "feels"? Thanks for proving my point. If anything, neoconservatives are ultra-logical and the left is the party of "because my emotions say so".

>>3477713
Its a dangerous cocktail of anonymity and misanthropy which surfaces here. Throw in some garbled, completely biased statistics and you've got the majority of what constitutes a victory in an argument on 4chan ever.

>>3477721

Jesus, you can't even read. It's not my opinions, it was what was printed in the New York Times.

Along with letters from Roosevelt to Mussolini himself.

>President Franklin Roosevelt expressed admiration for the Italian leader, and sent him cordial letters. In June 1933, Roosevelt praised Mussolini in a letter to an American envoy: “... I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy and seeking to prevent general European trouble.” In another letter a few weeks later, the President wrote: “I don't mind telling you in confidence that I am keeping in fairly close touch with the admirable Italian gentleman.”

>>3477791
I said that Mussolini was regarded, before the war, as the Italian Roosevelt, both by Roosevelt himself and the largest newspapers at the time. You disagreed and I proved you wrong.

I don't want to add another point to Right-wing over the same argument, but your display of ignorance is tempting.

Zizek is super fun to read, and it's pretty hard to believe he's a leftist for most of his books. When he talks about politics he's frequently criticizing liberals and it's almost funny (because it sounds fake) when he starts talking about the positive potential of revolutionary violence and so on and so forth, it's totally unrelated to the rest of his 'philosophy'.

Chomsky is incredibly stupid, the fact he's called an intellectual is nothing but sad. Jameson, Badiou, Eagleton are way better.

As for rightist intellectuals, try Voegelin, Strauss, Oakeshott and followers.

>>3477797
Yes, before the war.

And?

left or right thinker does not mean liberal or conservative

>>3477801
Which is what I said. The point being, we didn't get into the war because we didn't like Fascism.

Reminder that National Socialism is not Fascism, as Fascism is not racist or anti-semitic.

>>3477797
You generalise from
>Mussolini was regarded as the Italian Roosevelt
to this being of any fucking significance.

I regard myself as the greatest suckhole artiste ever. Guess what that means?

Roosevelt and Mussolini both killed working class activists on a systematic basis. Instead you're attempting to segue Mussolini's socialist roots, and Americans misunderstandings of Roosevelets relationship to US capitalism into an argument that Mussolini wasn't a right wing fuck bag.

Please, put your balls in a blender for your children's sake.

>>3477804
Who's "we"?

How is logic inherently objectively superior to emotion?

>>3477805
I simply proved that Roosevelt thought highly of Mussolini's policies and so did the major newspapers at the time. That's some cute revisionism, but do you not remember that Roosevelt put Japanese Americans into concentration camps?

>>3477808
America, which is what this argument started with. >>3477720

Mohammad bin Abdullah al Muttailib al Quraish, son of Abdullah bin Ali al Muttailib al Quraish and Amina binti Wahab, inherited his Judaism from his father who was a Jew and was circumcised because of that.

He belonged to the bani al Quraish Jewish Tribe. The Adnani Arabs are descendants of the 12 Tribes of Ishmael and were originally Jews.

>>3477804
Many Fascisms, from Horthy's onwards, have been anti-semetic. In the European concept of racial nationalism, and Mussolini's culturalism is a racialism, the easiest way to unite the national community around exterminationalist raciality is through anti-semetism. However, you raise the very important point about the difference between Horthy and Mussolini's cultural racialism compared to Hitler or Franco's blood racialism. What is race in fascism when such a variety of meanings of race are present? What is racialism when volkish racialism was even more vehement than most of the NSDAP in the East and South?

>>3477810
>the right is anti-intellectual! why can't those idiots think with logical?!!?? FUCKING IGNORANT RETARDS!!

>How is logical inherently superior to emotion?(when it suits my argument)

>>3477816
Why do you feel that way?

>>3477815
Jews were over-represented in Mussolini's Fascist party before Hitler took over and started running Italy.

"Race! It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today. [...] National pride has no need of the delirium of race. Only a revolution and a decisive leader can improve a race, even if this is more a sentiment than a reality. But I repeat that a race can change itself and improve itself. I say that it is possible to change not only the somatic lines, the height, but really also the character. Influence of moral pressure can act deterministically also in the biological sense.

The French Revolution embodied everything the New Right, not to be confused with neoconservatism or libertarianism, is against.

>>3477865
Socialism requires worker ownership and control of the means of production. In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship — it can only be democratic. Hitler’s other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church even though he was an atheist.

In short, Hitler was not a leftist and if you believe so you're a poorly educated dolt.

Nazism used elements of the far-right racist Völkisch German nationalist movement and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture which fought against the communists in post-World War I Germany. It was designed to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. Major elements of Nazism have been described as far-right, such as allowing domination of society by people deemed racially superior, while purging society of people declared inferior which were said to be a threat to national survival.

Please stop embarrassing yourself.

The new right, as a pre-fascist movement, rejects liberty, fraternity and equality in favour of property. Just like every pre- proto- and fascist movement has since Napoleon III captured the nation for a non-reactionary reactionary politics.

lol so much MAD

kids with big ideas, if you can't tell your idea's relevance to academic philosophy, chances are it's not very good.

Alfred Nobel’s Will (the founding document of the prestigious Nobel Prize) requests
“…that in awarding the prizes no consideration be given to the nationality of the candidates,
but that the most worthy shall receive the prize …” This expressed wish is largely ignored by
the Nobel Foundation, who award excessive numbers of Prizes to Jewish scientists (who
traditionally belong to “One Nation” even if they live in different countries around the
World), thus creating the large Jewish-Bias (J-bias). They award the Prize to 137 times
more frequently to Jewish candidates worldwide, and 26 times more frequently to those in
America, than would be expected from the size of the Jewish population. The proportion of
Jewish laureates more than doubled (2.3-fold increase) after the Second World War owing
to the explosion of Prizes shared between Jews and Gentiles (8.8-fold increase). H

Stormfront. The website gets much hate but it's actually a great source for information outside of the politically correct mainstream.

>it's actually a great source for information

>>3478205
Maybe the Jews who recieved the prizes were more worthy?

>>3478237
Just read the article, it confirms a J-bias but still acknowledge the fact that Jews have overrepresentatioin.

I didn't read the thread, I just felt to comment on the absurd quote.

There are a few typical racist-extremist /pol/ rejects that arrived here recently and spew their anti-intellectualism in nearly every non-book thread here. /lit/ used to be decent...

Egalitarianism is anti-intellectual. Sorry to pop your little bubble.

>>3477646
how can they have nanny state and free everything? personally my brain is pretty much entirely free everything and smarter than thou.

uh huh

>>3478542
Yes, preferring mediocrity over genius is the trademark of egalitarian thought.

>mediocrity over genius is the trademark of egalitarian thought.

You got to be joking... Try not speaking about things you learn in the Television next time.

>>3478606
I'll interpret your post as an intellectual white flag. Where there are extraordinary people, there will never be complete equality.

>>3478541
Is this a joke? Are you trying to say that he's playing a character, or are you genuinely implying that Bill O'Reilly is smart?
Even if you agree with EVERYTHING he says, you would have a hard time perceiving him as anything but intellectually bankrupt.

>>3477782
Keep going.

>>3478659
lol'd, please his political opinions might not be on the "right" side, but he's hardly a stupid man, and probably a lot more smarter and hard working than you.

if this is not a troll I'll feel compelled to descent into a new level of absurdism to cope

Looks really smart

You seem to be using the English language. You seem to be regurgitating symbols and beliefs (via your use of idioms) that you have no responsibility for. Why don't you critically engage your own language and create a better one? You must be unintelligent, because you're being rather academic in that respect.

Also, would you care to take a gander at the history of science? The most intelligent persons were still working in the framework of existing intellectual ideas and concepts. You literally can't name a case that doesn't fall in line with that claim, because it's not possible. It's how human knowledge works.

But I find your self-pride to be cute. You must just be misunderstood and no one can grasp the truth of your self-invented genius ideas!

Why are conservatives so goddamn angsty?

>/pol/ plebs leaking into /lit/
Please take your strawmen elsewhere, and your non sequitur talking points too.

Wow... you're edgy AND fucking stupid.

That's nice.

Not really.

The actual academic community already laughed about you before you dropped out.

you know what an automata and a grammar is, or do you still live in the stone age?

We fed the trolls, they know we are weak. Soon they shall return in greater numbers... we've brought this upon ourselves.
